Modern prune production is primarily governed by market demands. A growing demand for large uniformly coloured prunes of harmonious flavour has been evidenced in recent period. Aiming at satisfying these requirements, some investigations of some of introduced plum cultivars (Jojo, Jubileum, Valor and Stanley (standard)) have been conducted. Chemical composition of fresh plum fruits, mechanical composition of both fresh and dried plums and their behaviour during the drying process have been studied. The investigation of convective drying included the application of an experimental apparatus, i.e. the vertical air-flow drying model, at a temperature of 90 deg C. The direction of vertical air flow was alternated at precisely determined time intervals. A glass, which enables monitoring of the drying process and changes on fruits accordingly, is provided at the front of the chamber.
